Methodology

The Strategic Management and Value Creation Program aims to develop advanced value creation capabilities through a completely new format, interspersing traditional sessions (theoretical lectures, practical exercises, case studies) with sessions involving a sophisticated value creation simulator (giving participants an immediate opportunity to apply the knowledge gained). This course assures the balance between the theory and the practice, by allocating half of the course activities to training in the simulator, thus, allowing participants to consolidate their competencies in a solid and (as it has always been referred in previous editions ) joyful manner. All cases used are about well-known companies with particular international relevance in the current business climate, which includes successful cases and cases of failure.
